0.32 g/#cm^3#

Explanation:

First of all, I'm assuming you meant to say 25 #cm^3# . If that is the case, the answer is found by understanding the units of density.

The proper units can be many things because it is any unit of mass divided by any unit of volume. In your situation the mass is grams and the volume is #cm^3# . (More info below about units)

So 8 #-:# 25 = 0.32 and the units would be g/#cm^3# .

Other units of density could be g/L or g/ml or mg/#cm^3# or kg/#m^3# and the list could go on and on. Any unit of mass divided by any unit of volume.
